You might try a thicker stool, maybe 7/8" and wider to balance more with the heavy architrave. Not being critical here, I love unique trim. It will sure set your place apart from the mundane stock...

A driving rain can force water through mortar joints. If the mason did a good job of layering tar paper, and proper flashing over window lintels, water should make its way out through the weepholes....

Frank, to make the wiring of the 15 or so 110 volt outlets a bit faster and cheaper I would use 12/3 and run it all around the shop. Connect alternating outlets to black and the next one to red, etc....

Very nice, Todd!

I've done several jobs like this, but never incorporated a diagonal design like yours, that's a nice focal point. I don't know if you had an opportunity to decide wiring locations...

I leave a little blood in every house. No matter how careful you are, trim nailers will get you once in a while - nail hits a knot, or curls back at you off a drywall screw. Shot a 16 ga. through my...

Can you replace the high 18"radius window with a half circle 18" radius? This would allow the box to go straight across, and probably leave enough room for a curved jamb and curved casing. Is the...

I don't what others use for cutting bowl blanks, but I bought a 1" 3tpi blade, set the tension tight and have had no problems since. I did have problems earlier with the smaller blades.

So Bob........ is there a link to that tip?

and the suggestions. Grinder cabinet is finished and ended up 24" deep, 34" wide and 36" high, which seems comfortable - a few inches lower than the lathe toolrest. I had some scrap ¾" ply, and used...

Thanks for the pic, Jim. Looks like your bench is about 32" high, if I scaled it correctly. I'll stay with 36" and see how it feels.

Hi Mark: It was a toss-up between the General International 8" (1750 rpm) and the Delta 8"VS. I think they were priced about the same, so I got the Delta because of the variable speed.
I don't know...

I'm cleaning out my Dad's shop, and picked up 2 steel cabinets which I plan to bolt together to make a grinding bench. The final size will be approx. 24" deep, 32" wide and 36" height, but could be...

John, if you read your manual carefully you'll note that the fence must be between the blade and the coin, or the blade must be below the table. Many saws have been needlessly returned for failing...

Lynn, I hope Dominic Greco spots your post. He was in the same situation a few years ago, about the time I started reading posts on the Badger Pond. As I recall he spent a few months getting all his...

I bought the Delta 8" VS a few weeks ago. Now I can buy the Wolverine jig 'cause you said it would fit under the wheels. I've been holding off buying it thinking it might not fit.

1. Don't be too critical of your results/projects. Your family will love them. You'll get better with time. Woodworkers tend to to be there own worst critics.

2. Buy the best tools you can...

Picture of a chair with 3 legs, or some other goofed up project:

Thanks Noah, but now Ken's links are working for me. Looks like BG's gathering was a great time.

So........I mosey'd on over to WoodCentral and tried your links there with the same results - links didn't work for me. Since you all seem to be enjoying the pics it must be a glitch at my end. :(

Ken, I'm coming up blank. Are your links correct?
:confused:

Lee. the shingles should overhang the facia by about 1". The fix might be to slide a 6" strip of prepainted aluminum flashing under the first row of shingles with a 1" overhang.

Hi Howard,
Put this question to Mike Brazeau on the WoodCentral Turning forum. I know he checks in there perodically. He is the President of the Golden Horseshoe Woodturners Guild, in our area, and...

I'm probably as much of a turning rookie as you are, so I've been following your exploits with interest. (fingernail grinding, etc.) I've had problems centering blanks as well and your simple jig...

I would use cedar instead of PT. As far as attaching the existing pickets, use a 1"by ½" dado on the underside of the rail, and use a ½"by x" in the dado between the pickets. All underside fasteners...

A copper or zinc ridge cap should prevent future moss growth after you get the current moss crop cleaned off. Rainwater will leach off copper sulphate or zinc sulphate to prevent further moss growth.
